After Action Report
In Utah, the Lakers survived the Jazz 121-120 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
